the cat empire - barricades lyrics
hey
you’re living in a dream
you’re loaning all the oxygen here in your little room
waiting for sleep to come
maybe
you’re more than what it seems
somewhere among the piles of ashes and broken gl-ss
there is a sweet thing
so welcome to the party, dreamer, it’s nice to meet you
you’ve got the world on your shoulders
what did they do to you to make
you hide your beautiful self with barricades
snakes coming through ancient stones
n-body’s holding your hand, no one’s making it easy but i believe
you’ve got more power in the twist of one finger
than all the tyrants and predators
the hypocrites will not rest at east
a darker truth will bow down to you
i can only see you in silhouette
turn yourself to the light
so i can see your face
only broken moments are sacrosanct
turn yourself to the light
so i can see your face, you beautiful
face, you beautiful
face, you beautiful
face behind those barricades
if you walk with barricades
you need a [?] instead
you need a wrapped-up hand shake the revolution
singing k-mbaya
cause one day they cannot throw the secrets back on your shoulders
you turn the old television off
but lion opens its mouth to roar
but someone’s shaking your shoulders
i can only see you in silhouette
turn yourself to the light
so i can see your face
only broken moments are sacrosanct
turn yourself to the light
so i can see your face, you beautiful
face, you beautiful
face, you beautiful
face behind those barricades
…only broken moments are sacrosanct
turn yourself to the light
so i can see your face, you beautiful
face, you beautiful
face, you beautiful
face behind those barricades
